2 The Alcatel-Lucent 1300 Convergent Network Management Center (CMC) provides cost-effective integrated network management for next generation networks (NGNs), fixed IP multimedia subsystem (IMS) networks, public switched telephone networks (PSTNs), signaling networks - and any combination of these. It provides an easy upgrade from PSTN to NGN/IMS. At the same time, the Alcatel-Lucent 1300 CMC significantly reduces operating expenditures (OPEX), especially when compared with the cost of using separate management systems for the PSTN and NGN. This product can also exploit the NGN s capability of delivering new revenue-generating services. It s a complete value proposition because it also enables the evolution to fixed-mobile convergence (FMC) that is possible with IMS. Converged IMS-based networks are managed by the Alcatel-Lucent 1300 Cross Domain Management Center (XMC), an evolution of the Alcatel-Lucent 1300 CMC, and the Alcatel-Lucent 1300 Operations and Maintenance Center (OMC), which manages mobile networks.

5 The Alcatel-Lucent 1300 CMC Value Proposition In today s highly competitive and fast-moving telecom landscape, each step in migration to IMS must generate value immediately. The Alcatel-Lucent 1300 CMC provides immediate benefits in CAPEX and OPEX savings. CAPEX SAVINGS The Alcatel-Lucent 1300 CMC offers a competitive price through its integration of several element managers and, for operators with established Alcatel-Lucent 1000 S12 networks, enables extension to NGN/IMS management with a simple software upgrade. Also, a single interface minimizes the OSS integration costs. OPEX SAVINGS Integrated network management for the PSTN and NGN/ IMS significantly reduces OPEX, by about 40 percent compared with the costs of separately managing the PSTN and NGN/IMS. For new NGNs, integrated management is the key to high network availability and rapid service provisioning. The intuitive user interface minimizes training costs for operators, reduces input errors and increases operational efficiency. SMOOTH NETWORK MIGRATION A common management platform enables network operators to add the NGN/IMS management capabilities of the Alcatel-Lucent 1300 CMC to their networks, ensuring a smooth PSTN-to-NGN/IMS migration for established Alcatel-Lucent 1000 networks and reducing service turn-up time. This includes tools and processes for subscriber migration. For the introduction of IMS, subscriber migration to a central network database, such as the Alcatel-Lucent 1430 IP Multimedia-Home Subscriber Server (IP-HSS), is key in minimizing the migration costs and the impact on subscribers. NEW REVENUE STREAMS By adding NGN/IMS capabilities to established networks, the Alcatel-Lucent 1300 CMC enables new revenuegenerating services, thereby accelerating return on investment (ROI) and providing a future-proof network management solution. PROVEN NETWORK MANAGEMENT The Alcatel-Lucent 1300 CMC and its predecessors, the Alcatel-Lucent 1360 Switch Management Center (SMC) for S12 switches and the Alcatel-Lucent 1300 Network Management Center (NMC) (1+2) for E10 switches, manage about 150 million terminations worldwide, from France to China and Australia to Portugal. Integrated alarm surveillance, hardened in numerous networks, guarantees maximum network uptime. A COMPLETE VALUE PROPOSITION By generating value today and well into the future, the Alcatel-Lucent 1300 CMC provides a complete value proposition. Alcatel offers a very complete overall management umbrella for the 5020 Softswitch, as well as the other elements within its NGN Voice portfolio. The 5020 Element Management platform offers full FCAPS (Fault, Configuration, Accounting, Performance, and Security) support as well as seamless integration into Alcatel's 1300 Convergent Network Management Center (CMC), providing full operations and maintenance support for Alcatel's softswitch, gateways, and legacy PSTN switches, as well as interfacing to existing operational support systems (OSSs).

7 Intelligent Interfaces for Cost-Effective Management INTUITIVE GUI The Alcatel-Lucent 1300 CMC provides an intuitive GUI for simple network management. An animated network map displays the equipment and enables the operator to navigate easily through all configuration and maintenance functions. For ease of monitoring and management, alarms from all relevant equipment are conveniently displayed in one alarm list; centralized alarm management helps to increase network availability. Task-oriented forms step the operator through procedures and minimize input errors by leading the operator from field to field and restricting input to only the accepted values for a given situation (see Figure 3). More complex operations, such as clearing certain alarms and provisioning routing data, are further supported by task procedures, which combine several task-oriented forms. SUBSCRIBER AND ROUTING PROVISIONING The Alcatel-Lucent 1300 CMC also provides co-operative management and service management applications for subscriber provisioning and routing provisioning. The Alcatel-Lucent 1000 Extended Assistant Routing System (EARS) is a Unix-based database application integrated into the Alcatel-Lucent 5020 MGC for flexible and enhanced handling of routing data. This application improves routing data capacity and routing processing performance. It also supports network-wide routing by providing centralized routing for multiple network elements. The Alcatel-Lucent 1000 EARS service provisioning system (SPS) manages routing of related data in persistent databases via a GUI and XML northbound interface. In order to optimize the division of revenue, the Alcatel- Lucent 1000 EARS enables rapid adaptation of routing data to changing costs for inter-operator calls. OSS INTERFACES The Alcatel-Lucent 1300 CMC provides standardized interfaces for service provisioning and inventory data, service assurance, and routing. It also supports performance data collection and forwarding to the OSS for the following NEs: Alcatel-Lucent 5020 CSC, Alcatel-Lucent 5020 MGC, Alcatel-Lucent 7510 MG, Alcatel-Lucent 8690 OSP, Acme, and Convedia. The Alcatel-Lucent 1300 CMC provides inventory data for several nodes (e.g. location, site) and network types. It supports initial download and synchronization functions. Software management features are supported centrally. The Alcatel-Lucent 1300 CMC provides open OSS interfaces based on the de-facto standard XML. Alcatel-Lucent s service provisioning is an open web service, based on Axiom (OEM product) which uses the Alcatel-Lucent 1300 CMC service provisioning interface. Alcatel-Lucent s inventory management application is based on Cramer (OEM product) which uses the Alcatel- Lucent 1300 CMC inventory interface. ALCATEL-LUCENT > 5

8 A Complete Value Proposition The Alcatel-Lucent 1300 CMC supports the management of fixed networks and enables service providers to migrate their subscribers from PSTN to NGN/IMS networks. It ensures minimum service downtime for customers and requires no modification of existing dialing plan and subscriber domain names; subscriber profiles and services can be kept. The process is efficient, safe and secure, and results in a short migration phase. It also evolves the management of converged IMS based networks (with XMC). The Alcatel-Lucent 1300 CMC s task-oriented forms and task procedures, its subscriber and route provisioning capabilities and the subscriber migration support enable efficient management, reduced input errors and reduced training requirements. It all adds up to lower OPEX. The Alcatel-Lucent 1300 CMC (with its evolution to the Alcatel-Lucent 1300 XMC), also offers a secure path to facilitate network migration to IMS-based converged networks and helps to optimize revenues by quickly adjusting routing and subscriber data.
